To answer the question: Should people with spinal pain use massage chairs?

Whether people with spinal pain should use a full-body massage chair is a question that many people are interested in. Some information suggests that massage chairs help significantly improve the symptoms of spondylosis. Is it true or not? Let’s listen to the analysis of the orthopedist in the article below to get the answer.

What is spinal pain?

Spinal pain (or spondylosis) is a condition when the cartilage layer of the joints wears down, the joint fluid is not enough to lubricate, causing the joint heads to come into direct contact with each other, causing intense inflammation and pain. Not only that, the friction of the bone ends can also form bone spurs at the contact site. Bone spurs thrive and affect the vertebrae, nerves, and surrounding soft tissues if not treated promptly.

The cause of spinal pain is mainly due to age, unscientific lifestyle, sedentary or long-term damage to the spine but not timely treatment. People with spinal pain are often prescribed drug treatment by doctors with the goal of pain relief and safe anti-inflammatory. Then use physical therapy combined with acupressure, gentle massage to enhance efficiency and improve motor function for the patient.

Should a massage chair be used to support the treatment of spinal pain?

Using a chair or massage machine daily is also a health care solution recommended by musculoskeletal and joint doctors, including Dr. Chea Samnang.

Dr. Chea Samnang shared:

“The current full-body massage chairs are integrated with many modern massage technologies such as Shiatsu acupressure, infrared heating, massage rollers, full-body contraction airbags, etc. When using a massage chair, all of the body will be relaxed, enhancing blood circulation. In particular, the massage chair also has a zero-gravity mode, which reduces the body’s pressure on the spine, helping to improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis.”
